Laundry OCD!

I was talking to Hair Girl today. We love to talk on Mondays since she is off and its always a great start to the week. We used to talk after work but she has late nights on occasion and I turn in early. It was a no go. She was doing laundry and I shared with her my obsession doing laundry. I do not love doing it but I do it almost every day and I am very OCD about the way I do it! I wash the dark loads before the whites and always the towels last. She laughed at my craziness. I think she thought I was embarrassed to share my routine. Embarrassed? Not at all ... I am ok with that! Here goes ...

When I wash the clothes I only use original scent Gain laundry detergent. Only. ﻿If I am out ... I don't wash until we have more. I love the Gain fabric softener as well. The combination makes the clothes smell amazing!

I used to use the Gain dryer sheets (I know ... overkill, right?) but recently have switched to these ...

Hello! Simply heaven! They are pricey ($7.99 for 80) but they last thru more than one wash! I love the way the clothes smell when they come out of the dryer and the way the laundry room smells after I am done. I am addicted. I will admit to putting one in my lingerie drawer as well. Love, love, love them! I would venture into the laundry detergent as well but the price is not worth the smell for me and I would be so disappointed if the clothes didn't emerge clean enough.

When the clothes come out of the dryer I put them into a wicker laundry basket and fold them on my bed. When I am done folding I sort them into white plastic laundry baskets for the room they go into and then deliver them to each room. The children do their own laundry on the weekends but I do wash their sheets, towels, etc. during the week.

I am aware that my ritual is crazy and I simply don't care. I despise doing laundry. I find it like grocery shopping (marketing) simply mundane. So I have to spice it up and this system works for me!

Is it really Wednesday and is my Thanksgiving holiday week already have over? How does time seem to go so fast when its vacation?? We ar...
